When was 4 youngster there was n

CORRESPONDENTS AT o~oNELsoN.

What One OF the Journalistic Profession
Saw After tho Surrender of the Fort.
About a mile from the landing | met u
person dilapidated. demoralize1. who,
bent with fatigue. WAS limping and hob
bling painfully in the direction of the
boats. | recognized him AS Andre Mat
teson, a correspondent OF his own paper
i'll Chicago. He was worn out with
hour of tramping over the battle ground,
and withal i'll n state of starvation. | di-
videi my rations with him and he ate
like u ravcnous wolf. 1 ave always felt
that my opportune meeting Will him at
that moment saved him from death
through starvation, and thus preserved to
the journalistic profession one of its most
accomplished members.
Knox was not at Donclson. being Their
on his third march from st. Louis to
Springfield. this time under the lead of
Gen. Curtis. Richardson made a narrow
escape from missing the battle. AT Fort
Henry I had managed to get my letter
off on the first dispatch boat which left;
he missed the boat, and there was no
other to leave in ten hours. He was
equal to the emergency. He went down
the river on the first steamer, o the
a u -'FN lOihs Wiling Oh IL tohb
us he went. Although ten hours behind
at the start he made up tho difference, so
that our lotters appeared on the same
morning in New York, and by coming
instantly back he was in time for the
Donelson contest.
Sunday morning, after the surrender,
while going through the works, a man
passed me on a lively trot who carried
na,sar and ,sapnii op1 vrba ballad n mn
ment here and there to jot down
a sentence. A glimpse OF "A jaundiced
face and Il solemn countenance re-
vealed the identity of Coffin. the Bos-
ton correspondent. who was doing the
Notifications on the run. As far as l
could see him he kept the pace, up hill
and down, over breastworks, parapets,
rifle pits, rocks, fallen trees and all other
obstacles. He ran with his head down,
like AN animal which trails by scent. If
his report was at all commensurate in
value with the speed developed in getting
it up II must have been thrilling beyond
estimate.
Henry LOWE, the artist for Frank Les
lie, was not on the ground. | met him a
couple of days after at Cairo and fur
nished him material with which ''our
own correspondent on the spot" made a
spirited drawing Of the battlefield.
Knowing personally many of the officers
who were engaged in the charge against
the Confederate right, l gave him such
details Of their appearance that he was
able to present some very lifelike faces in
his sketch of the assault; and in this way
he gained u vast notoriety for the fidelity
OF his pictures, thereby, in the estimate
